Opponent: Atlanta Silverbacks

Site: UMBC Stadium

Time: 7: 05

Outlook: Mania coach Paul Kitson started stressing fitness the day he arrived, and his players will need it beginning tonight against the 2-3 Silverbacks, tied for fifth in the A-League's Atlantic Division. This game starts a manic stretch for the last-place Mania (0-3) -- four games in 10 days. The Mania is the last winless team among the 16 in the Eastern Conference and one of only two teams in the 30-team league that has not scored.
